Which Excel Course Should YOU Do

One of the biggest difficulties with Excel courses is which one is correct for you, specifically based on the type of work you do in Excel.

You can already assess what your skill level is on this site, but what are the most important things to learn to help YOU in YOUR job (as there are so many things you can learn in Excel).

This questionnaire asks you to rate how often you have to perform 20 typical Excel tasks (should take less than 15 minutes to complete) and then tells you which live and online courses you should do.

As it is still in Beta, please give it time to open up and provide us with feedback on its usefulness.  Read more

Correctly calculating interest charges in an annual financial model

If you calculate interest in an annual financial model, you cannot just take the opening balance and apply interest for a year. Payments during the year will reduce the interest charge. Excel can calculate this for you.

Updated Excel Skills Assessment Reports

We have updated the reports we provide for your skills assessments. You can now not only see the overall score, but also your score per area and compare them to typical scores. If you already have a skills score (if you have a number next to your name above) then simply reply and we will send you the updated report.

If you don’t have a skills score, now is the time to find out what you don’t know and do something about it. Excel Skills Assessment Questionnaire
